Mobile Car Valeting is a professional cleaning service that brings the car wash to your doorstep. Rather than driving to a fixed location, TGS Detailing comes to you — whether you’re at home or work — equipped with everything needed to give your vehicle a thorough clean. This service goes beyond a basic wash, offering both interior and exterior cleaning, including vacuuming, upholstery treatment, dashboard polishing, wheel cleaning, and a hand wash and wax. It’s perfect for busy individuals who want a sparkling clean vehicle without the hassle of going anywhere. The convenience, attention to detail, and high-quality products used ensure your car looks and feels fresh, inside and out.
Car Detailing is a paint restoration process that focuses on enhancing a vehicle’s exterior appearance. It involves deep cleaning, paint correction, and protective treatments to bring your vehicle back to showroom condition. One of the key components of detailing is machine polishing, which is used to correct imperfections in the paintwork, such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and dullness. By using a professional-grade polishing machine and cutting compounds, TGS Detailing safely refines the paint surface, restoring clarity, depth, and gloss. This service is ideal for anyone looking to rejuvenate their vehicle’s exterior and give it a flawless, high-gloss finish.
Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer applied to your car’s exterior that chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a durable, protective layer. Unlike wax or sealants, Ceramic Coatings offer long-lasting protection — often measured in years, not months. Once cured, it helps shield the paintwork from environmental contaminants like bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, and UV rays. It also makes cleaning easier by creating a hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and grime. TGS Detailing applies high-quality Ceramic Coatings that enhance gloss, provide a deep shine, and significantly reduce the risk of paint damage. It’s a smart investment for car owners who want to preserve their vehicle’s appearance with minimal maintenance.
Paint Protection Film, commonly known as PPF, is a nearly invisible, self-healing polyurethane film applied to your vehicle’s painted surfaces to protect against chips, scratches, road debris, and other minor abrasions. Unlike Ceramic Coatings, which offer chemical protection, PPF acts as a physical barrier, absorbing impacts and preventing damage to your paint. It’s especially valuable for high-impact areas like bumpers, bonnets, side mirrors, and door edges. At TGS Detailing, PPF is professionally installed with precision to ensure seamless coverage and maximum protection. It’s the ultimate solution for preserving your car’s finish..
